Ticomtec HSK Wood Steel Composite Adhesive System
WOOD-STEEL
WOOD-STEEL COMPOSITE ADHESIVE SYSTEM
As timber composite experts, we are also always looking for different composite options. We have reached a further milestone with the development of our wood-steel composite adhesive system (HSK system).
General building authority approval no. Z-9.1-770 was issued for the HSK systems in November 2014. Innovative ideas require innovative solutions – and that’s exactly what we have delivered.
We have already implemented several construction projects with the HSK system in the last few years, with permission in each individual case. The system has proved its worth every time and offers even further potential for future construction projects. Take a look at our references to find out more!

MATERIALS
The HSK systems consist of HSK perforated metal plates and a corresponding adhesive. This forms the bond between the wood and steel. The wood is cut parallel to the grain, the cavity is filled with adhesive, and the HSK perforated metal plate is inserted. The holes in the HSK perforated metal plate acts as adhesive anchors and can withstand enormous force. The selected plate thickness and rating are intended to ensure that, in the event of failure, the steel plate begins to yield before the wood cracks.
WOOD
- Whole, laminated, cross-laminated or veneer timber
ADHESIVE
- Adhesive based on polyurethane or epoxy resin
HSK PERFORATED STEEL SHEETS
- Please see the general building authority approval for details of requirements for HSK perforated steel sheets - Geometry, thickness, steel rating, and perforation can be customized to individual requirements
